Our Place

Situated just west of Renwick in the very heart of Marlborough’s wine country, the Mahi winery has continued to evolve since its beginnings in 1984.

Situated just west of Renwick in the very heart of Marlborough’s wine country, the Mahi winery has continued to evolve since its beginnings in 1984.

Brian and Nicola purchased the winery and vineyard in 2006, previously occupied by sparkling producer Daniel Le Brun. They set about converting the former onsite restaurant into their cellar door space and in 2008 completed an extensive winery upgrade. Continual improvements are made in the winery with ongoing maintenance of the underground caves and the addition of a new lab in 2012.

The Mahi Cellar Door is open for private tastings and tours by appointment. We have designed a private experience that offers a thoughtful, honest an educational look at our winery. See behind closed doors and gain an in-depth understanding and insight into the winemaking process at Mahi. You’ll have the place to yourselves as you are guided through a tailored tasting of wines selected for your palate, a walk through the barrel hall and a cave cellar excursion. You’ll get the chance to taste wine straight from the barrel as we give you an exclusive look at our yet to be released wines. We want you to experience the home of Mahi as if it was your own, so if it’s a warm day we can sit outside in the sun and if it’s a little chilly we can stay cosied up inside by the fire.
